• Accidental release source terms [r]: The mathematical equations that estimate the rate at which accidental releases of air pollutants into the atmosphere may occur at industrial facilities. [e]
• Acoustic energy [r]: Energy propagated as pressure waves, through elastic media such as air or water. Hearing is the detection of acoustic energy within the frequency range of the animal detecting the energy [e]
• Ampere (unit) [r]: Unit of electric current; symbol A; one of the seven SI base units. [e]
• Choked flow [r]: A limiting point for the flow of a gas which occurs under specific conditions when the gas flows through a restriction (such as a valve, a convergent-divergent nozzle, the hole in an orifice plate, or a leak in a gas pipeline or other gas container) into a lower pressure environment. [e]
• Computer network [r]: A collection of computers or digital devices ("nodes") connected by communication links. [e]
• Coulomb (unit) [r]: SI unit of electric charge; symbol C; 1 C = 1 A⋅s. [e]

• Electromagnetic wave [r]: a change, periodic in space and time, of an electric field E(r,t) and a magnetic field B(r,t); a stream of electromagnetic waves, referred to as electromagnetic radiation, can be seen as a stream of massless elementary particles, named photons. [e]
• Frequency [r]: For a periodic (i.e., repeating) phenomena, the number of repetitions per unit of time, usually one second; measured in Hertz [e]
• Gauss (unit) [r]: Gaussian unit of magnetic flux density B; symbol G; 1 G = 1 Mx/cm² = 10 000 T. [e]
• Gaussian units [r]: A centimeter-gram-second system of units often used in electrodynamics and special relativity. [e]
• Hertz [r]: The international (SI) unit of frequency, with units of inverse seconds, commonly called cycles per seocond. [e]
• International System of Units [r]: Metric unit system based on the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela. [e]
